Each month we feature a type of society for you to daydream about; this April we focus our thoughts on the wonderful world of water. . . Isn’t the surf scene in Ireland like totally cool? Go on admit it; everyone who slagged the ‘wannabe dudes’ in the Denny’s ad secretly dreamed of doing the same; making the commitment to grow your hair into long flowing locks (and that’s just the boys)and point your boards in the direction of west Clare…

College societies have provided for the growing popularity of the sport; DBS and Trinity are just two colleges that boast dedicated surf clubs which plan various trips during the year.

Most surf societies consist of both amateur and experienced surfers so your level of inexperience won’t be held against you!Surf societies can also encompass other water sports; such as kite-surfing, wind-surfing and canoeing. Joining one can have vast benefits; it’s a great way to get fit, meet people and learn a new skill; the best societies go on at least one surf trip during the academic year that are notorious for the copious amounts of fun that are had by all who go. . .

If all that isn’t enough keep in mind the ultra-cool gear; you’ll be able to wear your board shorts with pride this summer! And, for the girls, the possibility of finding your very own Kelly Slater should have you sprinting to the next meeting. . . whatever your reasons; crazy or otherwise, enjoy!
